This overall a good kit, however just like every other "kit" this requires some work to make it fit each application. The manufacturing tolerances back in the day were far from good on these trucks and can account for the challenges listed earlier in the thread. The issues with having to chase the threads may have to do with the heat during welding, its and easy fix but it would be nice if they did it before shipping. Still the best solution I have seen for hinges.
